- Cyclists are now permitted to use counter-flow bus lanes
- Bull-bars on SUVs have been banned
- Tinted-windows have been banned
- 30 km/h speed limit in Dublin city centre and residential areas
- Restrictions on heavy goods vehicles in the city centre
- Public bicycle parking provision in the city centre
- An active input into the National Cycling Policy Framework, published by the Department of Transport in April 2009
